The sub might get banned, like transdgender_surgeries was just today. A TransDIY comm was requested many times but never made.

We have been concerned about spreading the community out too much and reducing activity. But yes, now that they're being banned on reddit I'm considering opening up something like this. You can always post on traa about these things, we aren't bean sorters.

I will also discuss with @marcie@lemmy.ml about opening up a transgender surgeries comm somewhere where its appropriate.

Transbucket also exists for trans surgery stuff.

I can fill the role of a mod if one dedicated to transdiy is needed.

Its less that and more just there's not many users and splitting comms would reduce the amount of people viewing trans posts and helping people with stuff. But yeah adding it here might cause an influx of people now that people are spooked on reddit.

I feel like a majority of posters esp if trans know about resources for DIY if they're posting here, and if they don't some of us regularly do Lena posting

It is true, it would be nice to concentrate these posts, and also to just point people on the subreddit to a specific comm and say "go post there". One comment on the posts in the OP is already advertising blahaj zone...

It was a goof and a gaff yesterday when I posted about "Reddexit"... But I actually do believe now is the time for people to leave Reddit. I saw some comments in the first thread you linked that were talking about moving to here or blahaj, but they were buried.

Made a new commrequest for it, will get it done this time if there's a lot of support for it
